In September, Kanye West took to Twitter to declare the music industry “modern day slave ships”, as he sought to regain the rights to his master recordings. He explained: “When you sign a music deal you sign away your rights. Without the masters you can’t do anything with your own music. Someone else controls where it’s played and when it’s played. Artists have nothing accept [sic] the fame, touring and merch.
'A man does something, it's strategic. A woman does the same thing, calculated. A man is allowed to react, a woman can only overreact.' Taylor Swift - 2019
I'm gonna leave this here...
Taylor did it first
Stop crying about selling out. You did it to yourself. The music industry giants were ripping off artists before Kanye was even born. Once again, Kanye is suffering the consequences of his own arrogant ignorance. That's like crying about being lied to by Fox. No one cares!!
✊🏽🔥🔥🔥
not yall acting like taylorswift13 didn’t do the same thing
taylor did this over a year ago? why is it *kanye* who's 'changing the music industry' and not the woman who actually started this debate?
Why is this news when Taylor did the same months ago? Shouldn't the timeline about when the 'mark' happened for the changing in music industry be at that time, especially there were other artists who fought the same prior then. This is just copycat act.
I can’t wait for y’all to turn on Kanye. I’ll be waiting
This is bad take. He’s not the first and he’s not the one making the change. And you are all endorsing his rants while leaving out that this man has mental health problem and needs to get therapies.
In the past during the time of Little Richard, singers were getting a 2 cents per record sold, when Michael Jackson launched his solo carreer, he pushed to make sure singer-songwriters got more money, he didn't need publicity to make it happen. Ye wants to copy Prince, let him.
Fuck him He doesn't deserve shit
ahem. Taylor did it first.
Trump University master's program not good enough for you now?!? KanyePleaseShutUp
KayCyyPluto Yeezy changing the world 💯
TheCompanyMan Idk if its changing the music industry, it's just all publicized now. This is an ongoing battle that each artist face once they get to certain pt in their career. Can't forget those who came before & fought for the same like Prince & MJ. He's not the 1st & will not be the last
I respected his rap but not anymore. What he is doing is putting targets on the backs of black men & women and by him jumping in the race, means he will mean splitting vote. which means all his votes go to Trump or in other words the KKK.
His masters? theguardian going down hill SELL SELL SELL.
Please read before you dismiss me) hi my name is Lashundra I am a nursing student I am a year away from graduating & 1st generation college student. please read my story with an open mind & heart). No harm in sharing but it could help.
Conveniently using a purple background photo
Lol when Taylor Swift did the same thing 2 years ago, she was called “ungrateful”. When this clown does it it’s “changing the industry”? The hypocrisy is astounding
Stop covering this bozo
Universal Music & The whole music industry when Kanye is trying to own his masters. kanyewest
OK?! AND WHAT ABOUT taylorswift13 (she was actually the very first to do so)but apparently when a woman does it, and then a man prevents her from owning them it’s “She should just move on this is so much drama”but when this “thing” does it it’s “he’s changing the music industry”
This dude a clown he signed his own artists to horrible deals too...
Go away
I thought this was about Kanye fighting for Trump and his WHITE masters.
He is the one that signed the deal. He knew what they were selling and he signed his name even though he could do it by himself. The record company did their job and he should have done the same and looked out for himself like they did
Big Sean
When are you going to change your title to the black, always depressed, anti-UK, guardian comic?
